    xfs: convert l_last_sync_lsn to an atomic variable · 84f3c683
    Dave Chinner authored
    log->l_last_sync_lsn is updated in only one critical spot - log
    buffer Io completion - and is protected by the grant lock here. This
    requires the grant lock to be taken for every log buffer IO
    completion. Converting the l_last_sync_lsn variable to an atomic64_t
    means that we do not need to take the grant lock in log buffer IO
    completion to update it.
    
    This also removes the need for explicitly holding a spinlock to read
    the l_last_sync_lsn on 32 bit platforms.
